Born on March 17, 1920 at Tungipara
in Gopalgonj district, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was the third child of Sheikh
Lutfur Rahman and Saira Begum. He studied at the Islamia College and graduated
from Dhaka University. At 18, Mujib married Fazilatunnesa. They became happy
parents of two daughters and three sons.

Beginning of an Epic
Journey:

Mujib joined All India Muslim
Students Federation in 1940 and in 1943, switched to Bengal Muslim League where
he came close to Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy. While at Dhaka University, he
founded the East Pakistan Muslim Students’ League.

Language Movement:

Mujib led students’ strikes and
protests when the language discourse of Pakistan first emerged in 1948 and
remained active to organize the movements which culminated on February 21,
1952.

Climbing Steps of
Politics:

He left Muslim League to join
Suhrawardy and Maulana Bhashani to form the Awami Muslim League. He became the
first Joint Secretary of the party and then the General Secretary in 1953. In
the elections of 1954, Mujib was elected at the East Pakistan Legislative
Assembly and became the Agricultural Minister. In 1956, he joined a second
coalition government as the Commerce and Industries Minister.

Six Point Demand:

In 1963, Sheikh Mujib became the
President of Awami Muslim League after the death of Suhrawardy. He strongly
opposed Ayub Khan’s basic democracy. He proclaimed a 6-point demand seeking
autonomy of East Pakistan at the national conference of opposition political
parties in Lahore in 1966.

Agartala Conspiracy
Case:

Afraid of public support for Mujib’s
6-point demand, the then Pakistani government arrested him in the Agartala
conspiracy case but was forced to release him amidst massive public unrest. On
December 5, 1969, he declared that East Pakistan would henceforth be called
Bangladesh.

Elections of 1970:

In the general elections of Pakistan
in 1970, Awami League won a massive majority under Mujib’s Leadership. His
party swooped in all but two of East Pakistan's quota of seats in the National
Assembly. The West Pakistani rulers however were completely against Mujib’s
demand for greater autonomy.

March 07 Speeches:

The then Pak President Yahya Khan
delayed the national assembly to bar Awami League from forming the provincial
government. In a historic speech at the Racecourse Ground in Dhaka on March 7,
1971, Mujib called for the independence of Bangladesh. Yahya Khan declared
martial law, banned Awami League and ordered arrest of Sheikh Mujib.

Genocide and
Independence of Bangladesh:

On the night of March 25, 1971, Pak
army launched operation searchlight and started large scale genocide of the
innocent Bengalis. Sheikh Mujib was arrested and taken to Pakistan. Before
that, Mujib declared the independence of Bangladesh and asked the people to
create resistance against the occupying Pak army.

New Country Gets First
Govt.:

On March 17, 1971, the first
government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh was formed and Mujib was made
the President of the country in his absence. Soon after that, Muktibahini, the
freedom fighters’ force was formed and it started putting up strong resistance
against the Pak army.

Victory at Last:

After nine months of bloody war which
killed over 3 millions of Bengalis, the Pak army surrendered to the allied
forces of Muktibahini and Indian army. A new nation is born- Bangladesh. Sheikh
Mujibur Rahman returned home on January 10, 1972 and took the charge of
reconstructing the war-torn country.

Reconstruction:

Begins Mujib focused on humanitarian
and development assistance from the international community to reconstruct the
country. In a bid to bring political stability which was prerequisite to its
economic improvement, he introduced one-party rule. All political parties came
under one umbrella of identity known as BKSAL (Bangladesh Krishok Sromik Awame
League).

Assassination:

On the night of August 15, 1975, a
group of wayward army officers assassinated Mujib and all of his family members
except the two daughters. This brutal assassination not only put an indelible
smudge in the newborn nation’s history, but led the country into a political
vacuum. Democracy started fading away and the reconstruction process suffered a
major setback.
